The Mate Hunt Chapter 102: Changes
MaeveThere was something about Soren's answers that unsettled me."Mate?" I asked, even though I already guessed the answer.She shook her head. "No.""Cubs?"Another shake. "No.""Parents?"Her eyes didn't flicker. "Dead.""Siblings?""One. She mated into another pack years ago."I studied her, searching for a thread of connection. "So you have nobody here?"A wry smile curved across her lips, almost amused. "I have four hundred wolves here, Maeve.""You know what I mean."She did. The amusement faded, replaced by something quieter as she glanced down at the ledgers piled between us. "I was supposed to belong to Elara's household."The words hung between us, soft but heavy. For a moment, I was at a loss. Soren broke the silence first, pushing another stack of paperwork my way."So yes," she said, tone brightening with false cheer. "I am extremely excited about you."I eyed the mountain of folders. "That sounded threatening.""It should.""You're trying to dump three years of work on
The Mate Hunt Chapter 101: Soren
MaeveI awoke alone in Ronan's bed, the sheets cool beside me, my arm reaching out for someone who wasn't there.For a few blissful seconds, I floated in that warm, blank space between sleep and waking, my mind untroubled and empty. But memory is never merciful. It came rushing back all at once, like a cold plunge into winter water.Dinner. Torin's stare. Elara's absence echoing through her name. Elowen's voice, sharp and angry, cutting across the council chamber, her words ricocheting off half the ranking wolves. My own tears, spilled in the corridor, as I'd crumpled on the floor, unable to hold the weight of the night any longer. And Ronan, gentle, patient Ronan, leaving to sleep in the Luna chambers because I'd asked to be alone.A groan slipped from my lips as I pulled the blanket over my face, wishing I could disappear inside the soft cocoon.What a spectacular new beginning. Nothing quite said "future Luna" like a public meltdown in front of the entire werewolf government.My st
The Mate Hunt Chapter 100: She Should Have Lived
RonanMaeve's face crumpled, the faintest tremor passing through her features before she turned away, as if even that small vulnerability had been too much to show.I didn’t move. The Hunger clawed at me, restless and impatient... move closer, it urged, offer comfort, touch, fix. But I knew better. Some things, even the sharpest claws couldn’t mend.The silence stretched between us until Maeve finally exhaled, her shoulders sagging with the weight she carried.“I want to go upstairs,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.At once, I rose. This time, when I offered my hand, she took it. The moment her fingers closed around mine, the pressure in my chest eased, something fierce and aching loosening its hold. Maeve’s eyes flickered to me.She missed nothing, always seeing more than I wanted her to. But she said nothing, and for that, I was grateful.We walked together, wordless, through the halls. The pack house was unnaturally quiet, as if every wolf within sensed the tension trai
The Mate Hunt Chapter 99: Losing Yourself
MaeveFuck.The word echoed through every hollow space inside me as I closed my eyes. I tried, for a moment, to will away the sting of Torin's words, the memory of Elara, the sense of otherness that pressed on all sides of my skin.Then Elowen spoke, and the air in the room changed, sharp as winter wind, all conversation vanishing into a hush thick with unease."And since everyone is suddenly so nostalgic for the Luna you lost," she said, her tone slicing through the fog, "perhaps you'd all like to remember why a Caine Alpha needs one in the first place."Her words landed like a stone tossed into still water. The silence that followed was nothing like before. It was heavier, the kind that settles on your chest and makes it hard to breathe.Torin, ever the first to break, tried to protest. "That has nothing to do with—""It has everything to do with it," Elowen cut in, her voice flat and cold as hammered steel. "You all remember Ronan's father after he lost his first bond prospect?"My
The Mate Hunt Chapter 98: Trust Goes Both Ways
MaeveRonan stood. The table shook beneath the force of his dominance."Torin."His voice barely sounded human. But I didn't look at him. Couldn't. Because Torin was right.If Elara were alive, Ronan would have completed the ritual with her. She would wear the ring. The earrings. The Luna mark. She would sleep in those rooms. Sit beside him at this table. Know these people. Know their children. Know Nessa. Know Eli. Maybe she would have known immediately what to do. Maybe Soren wouldn't have spent three years filling a position that should never have been empty.And I would have remained Maeve Cross. Maybe ignorant. Maybe hunted. Maybe eventually dead. But I wouldn't be here.Torin's voice came quieter. "Your sister murdered her." I closed my eyes. "And you inherited everything she left behind."There it was. The thing I hadn't wanted to name.My eyes opened."Torin," Soren said sharply.Falon shifted beside him. But instead of stopping it, he murmured, "He isn't entirely wrong."Rona
The Mate Hunt Chapter 97: Another Probelm
MaeveA measured silence settled over the table, dense as fog in the valley below. It wasn’t uncomfortable... not quite. It was the kind of quiet that sinks into the wood grain, thoughtful and heavy, the aftertaste of too many truths spoken aloud.Ronan was the first to break the spell. He leaned back, the chair sighing beneath him, blue eyes flickering over the gathered faces. “Continue.”And just like that, the room exhaled. The reports resumed their slow orbit.Falon discussed the tangled routes of our messengers, the lifeblood of communication stretched thin by winter’s approach.Gemma, voice sharp as frost, complained about dwindling stores and the stubbornness of the rootcellars.Axel grumbled about three newly-shifted wolves, a trio of teenagers, who seemed to believe that following orders was more a suggestion than a rule.The conversation gradually stitched itself back together, growing louder, more familiar. I tried to track the rhythm of it: names and faces, territories and
